Looking on Wikipedia, I see the company also did adaptions of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. I don't remember hearing about these at all. I'd love to hear them! I've listened to those, too. They were great. I got them all in a Humble Bundle that included Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, Tales of the Jedi, Tales of the Jedi: Dark Lords of the Sith, Dark Forces Collectors Trilogy, and Dark Empire. I enjoyed the whole set. The Star Wars sets sound good, where can I get them from?

DW MR
The Entropy Plague
(An OK ending to a rocky trilogy)

Finally started on the Sixie boxset. After the mixed reviews I am happy to report it is not as bad as I feared. It is not blowing my mind, but it is enjoyable enough.

Palindrome (John Dorney)
Well, that was rather good wasn’t it?
Terry Molloy is the stand out performer in this and the ideas are suitably appropriate for a Time War. Must admit I’ve found the Eighth Doctor Time War series a bit underwhelming in the past but If the other stories in this set are just as good as this one then I can’t wait to see what they have planned in the future.

I enjoyed Time War 4 so much I decided to go back and listen to the entire series so far. I'm hoping that stories that were underwhelming to me at the time are better now. I'm in the middle of Time War 2 and I'm enjoying it more than before. I'm especially enjoying Bliss more that I had in the past. Glad I'm doing this.

Started on Devil in the Mist. This is fun, very fast-paced action adventure. However, I am not a fan of Kamelion (this is my first contact scenario).

Didn’t do any of that trilogy yet Got it in the recent sale, only got that one and not the rest because from the reviews it sounded like right up my alley. Only have done episode 1 so far and I like it. Nothing deep or lyrical, just some fun running around with a delightful creepy cackling villain. Plus Alien Hippo police. What is not to like?

Birthright (Benny 1.4) - this is the first one in the range for which I read the novel. I have to admit I don't remember the novel much at all. But while some of these first-season stories from the range are a bit shaky, or have too much packed into them by virtue of being condensed from a full novel, this one feels properly paced at plotted. I must say that Walking to Babylon also adapted well, albeit the story was a little harder to follow, but then Kate Orman's stories were always more complex than the average New Adventure novel.
Guardians of Prophecy (LS) - I'm enjoying this quite a lot. It gives a great deal of additional color to The Keeper of Traken.

Ahh, I remember Prophecy, it had an excellent riff on D&D-style dungeon crawling. The Lament of the Melkur is really quite something to hear for the first time audio-wise. A chorus of harmony seeking the chaos of disharmony.

Continuing my Edinburgh vacation with MR-6DA-Medicinal Purposes-Robert RossIt’s been a lot of fun listening to this walking the Edinburgh streets and alley ways. And really giving the fact we are about to hit tighter measures...whisky,flu viruses it is very contemporary. It is though a favourite of mine,Colin And Maggiemon top dramatic form and Leslie.

Another listen to The Sontarans from the Early Adventures. You'd think since the Sontarans are my first Doctor Who monsters (The Sontaran Experiment) that I'd probably take exception to them turning up in the First Doctor era but I continue to enjoy this and it's holding up on repeated listens (and it's wonderful to have Sara along for this as well).
Also I was inspired by this thread to give another listen to Guardians of Prophecy. Seemed appropriate after Primeval the other day too. Agreed with all the comments from others on this page.

S&S 01: The Passenger. What a shame BF couldn't have continued with this range, it is rather good. And Mark Gatis as a slightly sinister Gold (element) is great in this alongside our two main protagonists.

First listens for Love Me Not from The Robots 1 and Torchwood Ex Machina. Both were very engaging mysteries that I couldn't tear myself away from.
